Thirty-six percent of Americans note they are hitting the digital links to give gifts and cheer this year, despite 60% feeling that cyber scams become more prevalent during the holiday season.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"news-body-cta\">This press release features multimedia.

McAfee\u2019s survey shows shopping activity in general has increased, with 49% stating they are buying online more since the onset of COVID-19. Nearly one in five consumers (18%) are even shopping online daily, while one in three (34%) shop online 3-5 days a week.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nMcAfee\u2019s Advanced Threat Research team recently found evidence that online cybercrime continues to increase, with McAfee Labs observing <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.mcafee.com%2Fenterprise%2Fen-us%2Fassets%2Freports%2Frp-quarterly-threats-nov-2020.pdf&amp;esheet=52327479&amp;newsitemid=20201116005169&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=419+threats+per+minute+in+Q2+2020&amp;index=2&amp;md5=58901efb47e30f5abdd34321ddb65988\">419 threats per minute in Q2 2020<\/a>, an increase of almost 12% over the previous quarter. With activity set to rise from both consumers and criminals, there is an added concern of whether consumers are taking security threats as seriously as they should \u2013 with key differences seen across generational groups:\n<\/p>\n<ul class=\"bwlistdisc\">\n<li>\n79% of those 65+ in age believe there is a greater cyber risk due to COVID-19 while less (70%) of those 18-24 state the same\n<\/li>\n<li>\n27% of respondents ages 18-24 report checking if emailed or text messaged discounts and deals sent to them are authentic\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\n\u201cMany are wondering what this year\u2019s holiday season will look like as consumer shopping behaviors continue to evolve and adapt to the challenges faced throughout 2020,\u201d said Judith Bitterli, VP of Consumer Marketing. \u201cWith results showing the growing prevalence of online shopping, consumers need to be aware of how cybercriminals are looking to take advantage and take the necessary steps to protect themselves- and their loved ones- this holiday season.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThis juxtaposition of increased online activity from both consumers and cybercriminals serves as the perfect catalyst for misdeeds, especially as 36% of consumers note that while they are aware of risks, they plan to increase their holiday online shopping. This less-than-cautious approach is further seen when respondents are offered deals or discounts, with less than half (43%) checking to see if Black Friday or Cyber Monday emails and text messages sent are authentic and trustworthy.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nAdditionally, as the National Retail Federation (NRF) <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Finfogram.com%2F1pl6g2ln9kwmqmfqe9z7n9kxpjsz7zkj1m0&amp;esheet=52327479&amp;newsitemid=20201116005169&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=reports&amp;index=3&amp;md5=2ed8ca65c2f32bd5ba38694379454d06\">reports<\/a> 54% of consumers wish to receive gift cards this holiday season, McAfee\u2019s survey proved that 35% of respondents plan to fulfill this request by purchasing more online gift cards this year. With this alignment set to occur, there are potentially negative implications as 25% of respondents automatically assume gift card links are safe and don\u2019t always take the necessary steps to ensure legitimacy.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nIn order to stay safe this holiday season, McAfee advises:\n<\/p>\n<ul class=\"bwlistdisc\">\n<li><b>Employ multi-factor authentication <\/b>to double check the authenticity of digital users and add an additional layer of security to protect personal data and information.\n<\/li>\n<li><b>Browse with caution<\/b> and added security using a tool like <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.mcafee.com%2Fen-us%2Fsafe-browser%2Fmcafee-webadvisor.html&amp;esheet=52327479&amp;newsitemid=20201116005169&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=McAfee+WebAdvisor&amp;index=4&amp;md5=8668579d23bb59fdc7922b40838909e8\">McAfee WebAdvisor<\/a> to block malware and phishing sites via malicious links.\n<\/li>\n<li><b>Protect your identity<\/b> and important personal and financial details using <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.mcafee.com%2Fconsumer%2Fen-us%2Fmicrosite%2Fidentity-protection%2Foverview.html%3Fculture%3DEN-US%26cid%3D210317%26pir%3D1&amp;esheet=52327479&amp;newsitemid=20201116005169&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=McAfee+Identity+Theft+Protection&amp;index=5&amp;md5=f65807f6a1b2c615b42b20557072b316\">McAfee Identity Theft Protection<\/a>, which also includes recovery tools should your identity be compromised.\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b><i>2020 Holiday Season: State of Today\u2019s Digital e-Shopper<\/i> Survey Methodology:<br \/>\n<br \/><\/b>McAfee commissioned 3Gem to conduct a survey of 1,000 adults over the age of 18 in the U.S. between October 8-13, 2020.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThis press release only includes data from the U.S. survey.
